"'''Brain Damage'''" is the ninth track (or eighth, depending on the album release)<ref>The track number depends upon the edition of the album; some releases merge the two tracks "[[Speak to Me]]" and "[[Breathe (Pink Floyd song)|Breathe]]", for instance.</ref> from [[United Kingdom|British]] [[progressive rock]] band [[Pink Floyd]]'s [[1973 in music|1973]] album, ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]''. It was sung by [[Roger Waters]]. [[David Gilmour]] took over as lead vocalist when the band performed it live on the band's 1994 tour (as can be seen on ''[[Pulse (album)|Pulse]]''). The band called this track originally "Lunatic" during live performances and recording sessions. |
|||
The song is often mistakenly labeled "Dark Side of the Moon" alongside "[[Eclipse (song)|Eclipse]]" because the two run together and are commonly played together on the radio, giving the impression that they are one song. The incorrect title is derived from a recurring lyric in "Brain Damage," and the title of the album. |

|||
*The film ''[[Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii]]'' shows David Gilmour in the studio, apparently trying out some lead guitar riffs to add to the transition from verse to chorus. However, the recording of ''Dark Side of the Moon'' was in fact finished, the album then in the mixing stages, so there was no chance of these guitar riffs turning up on the record. The studio scenes in this film were staged by the band as an example of how they work. |
